For decades, UFO disclosure has simmered on the fringes of mainstream culture. But now, with director Steven Spielberg preparing to launch his new science fiction movie Disclosure Day, Reddit’s alien believers think the moment of reckoning may finally have arrived.

For decades, UFO disclosure has simmered on the fringes of mainstream culture. But now, with director Steven Spielberg preparing to launch his new science fiction movie Disclosure Day, Reddit’s alien believers think the moment of reckoning may finally have arrived.
Spielberg has spent the best part of the last five decades circling the topic of aliens. In 1977, he released the exploratory Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and in 1982, the seminal E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
Over those decades, UFO witness disclosure has been a slow drip, part of a fringe subculture that few, outside niche but dedicated communities, have taken seriously. However, momentum has picked up recently, due to the efforts of whistleblowers and fellow filmmakers alike.
Beaming in on a June 12th release date, Disclosure Day looks primed to get the conversation spinning into different orbits. Well, in fact, it’s already upon us.
Speaking to late-night host Stephen Colbert, Spielberg upped the ante on the compounding evidence of government concealment embedded in mythology all these years.
Isn’t it going to be wonderful when people realize after seeing this movie that everything is true, and has been true?
The director even opened up the interview by casually observing that the cosmos is “teeming with life,” which is a marked change from when the mere mention of a UFO could consign you to the loony bin.
Steven Spielberg: "With everything that’s happened from 1977 til today, I can now make Disclosure Day and say — ‘Isn’t it going to be wonderful when people realize after seeing this movie that everything is true, and has been true?’”

A string of support emerged on Reddit, as one UFOlogist observed that they'd never imagined such a mainstream discussion on the topic.
Others were quick to agree, with one approving, “It’s all a part of the unfolding.”
Another said: “It’s the end of one era, and the beginning of another, just like that.”
Another poster focussed on the disclosure process as having been “slowly peeled back to what we have now,” and as opposed to disclosure being a niche topic, asked that “maybe we need majority populace understanding and accepting for the truth to really unveil?”
To complete the domino effect of praise, @Hot-Spare5735 held up Spielberg's track record of filmography, plus the 2002 sci-fi series Taken, to praise the director, saying that “he didn’t make it a joke, though many people joked about his movies.”

And for all the championing of Spielberg, the broader discussion was where the film's release fits in the grand scheme of things, space-wise.
In the interim, one Redditor wished that “I so desperately hope all of this is not a psyop or media manipulation,” while pining for “proof of life of off-world sentience.”
And of course, someone had to pick up on the uncanny timing of the Hollywood release, coinciding with Trump's eventual release of the UFO files recently, after a longstanding promise to do so.
“People like DJT [President Donald Trump] love to scapegoat and point fingers at everyone else, to try and get the people to ‘look over there,’ and it works a lot of the time,” pointing out that that way politicians can head toward autocracy and “getting away with awful things.”
It may come across as a bit of a “conspiracy theory,” but at least the discussion is alive and well, as excitement builds for this major new release.
